Drive Ready Every Season
All-Season Tires
The practical choice for New York drivers who want year-round reliability without switching tires twice a year. Balanced performance across rain, light snow, and temperature swings.
Winter / Snow Tires
When New York winter hits — and it will — standard tires lose grip below 45°F. BMW-approved winter tires are specifically engineered to maintain control in snow, ice, and cold-weather conditions. Don’t wait until the first storm.
Run-Flat Tires
Most new BMWs come equipped with run-flat tires, which allow you to drive up to 50 miles at reduced speed even after a puncture — no spare needed. We stock a full range of BMW run-flat replacements.
Did You Know?
Quick tire facts every BMW driver should know:
- Tires lose pressure in cold weather — for every 10°F drop in temperature, tires lose about 1 PSI. Check your pressure every season.
- BMW run-flat tires cannot be repaired after a puncture — they must be replaced. Never attempt to patch one.
- Tire tread below 2/32″ is legally unsafe in New York State. The penny test: insert a penny into the tread with Lincoln’s head down — if you can see all of his head, it’s time to replace.
- Mismatched tires — even the same brand, different models — can affect your BMW’s stability control and handling systems.
- Tire rotation every 5,000–7,500 miles extends tire life significantly and ensures even wear across all four corners.
- BMW iDrive tire pressure warnings are a last resort — don’t wait for the light. Check pressure monthly.

Not Sure What You Need? Start Here.
How to know when it’s time for new tires:
- Tread depth is below 2/32″ (penny test fails)
- Visible cracks or bulges on the sidewall
- Persistent vibration at highway speed
- Uneven wear across the tire surface
- Your tires are more than 6 years old — even with good tread, rubber degrades over time
How to read your tire size:
Example: 245/45R18 — 245 is the width in mm, 45 is the aspect ratio, R means radial, 18 is the wheel diameter in inches. Your BMW’s exact size is in the door jamb sticker or owner’s manual.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need BMW-specific tires?
Strongly recommended. BMW engineers many of their vehicles specifically around tire characteristics — size, load rating, run-flat capability, and noise profiles. Using a non-approved tire can affect your ride quality, fuel economy, and safety systems.
How long does a tire installation take?
Most single or full-set installations take under an hour. We’ll give you an accurate time estimate when you book.
Can you repair a run-flat tire after a puncture?
No. BMW run-flat tires are not repairable after a puncture — they must be replaced. This is a BMW-mandated policy for safety reasons.
Do you reset the TPMS after installation?
Yes, always. Every tire installation at BMW of Long Island City includes a TPMS reset so your BMW’s monitoring system reads accurately.
Do you offer wheel and tire packages?
Yes. We offer winter wheel and tire packages that allow for a quick seasonal swap without the cost of mounting and dismounting every year.
Can I use a coupon or service special?
Yes. All current BMW of Long Island City tire and parts specials apply.
How do I know what size tire my BMW needs?
Check the sticker inside your driver’s door jamb, your owner’s manual, or call us and we’ll look it up by VIN — fast and free.
